I must admit I am disappointed. Instead of being innovative and creating new procedures to handle these WHs further annotation has been handed out. The WH community used to be so vibrant learning to work the game mechanics to their advantage now it has become as stale as null sec. Pity.

The only way to know if these holes were frigate holes or not before the patch, was to try and jump through the hole. This was particularly annoying.
Having the ships it allows through, be it by a certain colour of hole or (as the patch notes say) by a description, is incrediably helpful and needed to be put in.

However I do still feel that CCP are turning WH space into a playground for frigates, we already have Factional Brokenfare for that. But that's my opinion and a different story for a cold wet day.

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

It's an easy quick patch for them to change a show info. Keep on them to do new art for the holes that is visually distinctive at all levels of graphics settings and then remove it from show info and you might get some luck long term. But would you rather wait for the art team and have no clue till you press jump, or have some information now.

Any art changes will inevitably require more work to come through the pipeline, compared to this text change that we did. With the new frigate-sized wormholes making K162 jumps more likely to be denied, we wanted to get this info in to the client as quickly as we could, and the Show-Info window is already set up for presenting the dynamic wormhole status. I can assure you that the art team were very enthusiastic about their options when we presented this to them.

Speaking without any knowledge about the background workings of all this, but wouldn't it be similarly trivial to scale the size of the wormhole down by XX% to indicate that it is smaller ?

I quite like the idea of scancruisers decloaking on these things so I can kill them, and with this notice in the show info you basically reduced the pool of viable targets to only the REALLY stupid ones :)

I must be in a minority that would like to see wormhole "show infos" telling us practically nothing, but the visual telling those with a trained eye everything. "Show info" giving out all of the intel seems like the antithesis of w-space.

Like how already different colour k-space exits correspond to different areas of space. A frig wormhole could've had an extra small circular section or something, and we could have different animations for different stages of wormhole collapse (shrinking isn't sufficient I don't think since at different zoom levels you wouldn't intuitively tell).


Rroff Antagonistic Tendencies Likes received: 1,155	#17 - 2014-09-03 23:45:07 UTC 2 Would be nice if frig only wormholes looked totally different to the normal ones i.e. looked something like a tear in space/time rather than a properly formed wormhole.
